Mom birthed naturally in the Atlanta hospital where her first two babies presented head down and the third arrived as a footling breech. Her three baby girls triggered labor in their own time - at 38 weeks gestation - and all had apgar scores of 8/9 at birth.

The babies are each breastfeeding successfully and mom is elated with her successful VBAC. A heartfelt congratulations to her for this special birth. What lucky little girls she has! And major props to Dr. Tate who has quickly become one of the nation's most outstanding obstetricians through his wise practice that continuously puts mothers and babies first!

WONDERFUL to hear! I only know of one other triplet Mama to have given birth vaginally. I personally had my 38.5 week twins at home. First baby came footling/complete breech (just a bit of foot coming first) and second was posterior vertex (he flipped head down and sister came out). Easily and without all that much fuss. :)

Kudos to the medical provider that had the training and experience to provide the mom with this opportunity. Many would run in fear and have taken the 'safe' way by doing a C section at 34 weeks and then brought the babies to the NICU for a month or two. Personally, I don't believe there is enough statistically relevant data to dictate such a prescribed manner of managing multiple pregnancies.
